DISCLAIMER: I'm not own Ojamajo Doremi. I very like this show, so I decided to make this story. Ojamajo Doremi is a show which made by Toei Animation in 1999-2003.
Author's Note: Sorry, I may have grammatical errors. English and Japanese isn't my first language. This time, I write a KotaDore anymore, and it takes place after Ojamajo Doremi Dokkan eps. 26 (and I don't care if this fanfic don't have relation with the next episodes of Dokkan).
When the Love Grows Up
Chapter 1 – The Accident
"Yosh, okasan, otousan, ittekimasu."
Doremi and Pop went out from their house, wanted to go to school.
"Huh, Monday again..." sighed Doremi, "We don't have any long weekend in this month."
"Onee-chan, cheer up. We still can meet the others, right?"
"Yeah, but... Seki-sensei gave me much homework everyday."
"Uh, come on. You just need to go to school some months later, until your graduation."
"Well, I hope... it can't be too long."
When they wanted to walk across an intersection, they saw Hazuki, Aiko, Onpu, Momoko, and Hana-chan on the other side of the intersection.
Pop wanted to make her older sister get her spirit again, so she said, "Yosh, let's we join with them. Who's the later, will be a rotten egg!" she ran to the others.
"Chotto! Poppu, you challenge me? Yosh, I accept it." Doremi smiled, and followed Pop.
"Minna, chotto matte yo!" said Pop, "We want if you all see who will be the rotten egg between us!"
The others turned their head and saw both of them. They were waiting for Doremi and Pop.
Suddenly, they saw a van moved so quickly from Pop's left hand side. Just need some seconds later and Pop would hit by the van.
Hazuki yelled, "Poppu-chan, abunai!"
"Hyaaa!" Pop yelled. She couldn't do anything beside stay there and closed her eyes with her hands.
She heard someone yelled behind her, "Poppu, I'll help you!"
She felt someone pushed her forward, then she heard someone screamed in pain, "Aaah..."
She knew the owner of the voice, and it was her older sister: Doremi.
Pop opened her eyes and turned her head, and frightened to see what happened behind her...
The van hit her older sister.
Doremi fell onto the street. Blood gushed from her forehead, and now, she was unconscious.
"Onee-chan!" Pop ran to her and yelled, "Wake up!"
She tried to make Doremi awake, but she was still unconscious. The others ran to them.
"Doremi-chan! Doremi-chan!" they called her, but she still didn't wake up.
The driver of the van, a young man, walked out from his van and said to them, "Uh, I'm really sorry that I hit your friend. It's my fault to drive my car too quickly. I don't mean to do that."
"Never mind. We understand that you must be did it unintentionally." Aiko said.
"Well, it's better if we bring her to the hospital now. As it's my fault to hit her, I must bring her there."
He carried Doremi into his van, then she asked to the others, "Let's we go to the hospital. I think, it's better if you all follow us there."
"Uh, even so... all of us should go to school now." Hazuki said, "We want to follow you to the hospital, but... the school..."
"I'll tell your teacher in your school about the accident, and I'm sure, they will understand if you all must accompany your friend in the hospital."
"Uh, okay onii-san, thank you." Onpu said, "We'll tell you the school's phone number."
Then, they walked into the van, and went to the hospital.
In the hospital, the doctor examined Doremi in the emergency room, and the others, with the young man, waited for them outside the room.
Pop cried, "Onee-chan, doushite? Why do you help me? I'm the one who should be hit by the van, not you. You're the one and only my sister, and I love you so much. Onee-chan daisuki. Hontou ni daisuki."
Hazuki walked to Pop and said, "Poppu-chan, calm down. Daijoubu yo. Doremi-chan will be alright. Now, we just can pray for her, and hope that nothing bad happened with her."
"I hope so." Pop said, still cried, "I just feel guilty that she hit by the van because of me. I'm just a bothersome younger sister."
"Poppu-chan, don't say it. You're not wrong in this case." Aiko said, "Exactly, Doremi-chan would feel guilty if you were the one who hit by the van, because it means, she couldn't take care of you as your older sister. She loves you more than herself."
"I know it, but... why should this happen? Doushite? I can't see her like this. Atashi..."
Onpu swept Pop's tears, "Poppu-chan, if Doremi-chan sees you cry like this, she must be so sad. The doctor is trying to help her now, so don't worry, okay? Daijoubu yo."
Pop nodded slowly, "I'll try."
Then, the doctor walked out from the emergency room.
"Doctor, how about my older sister?" asked Pop, "Is she okay?"
"Not yet. She had a bit cerebral hemorrhage."
"Is it serious?" asked Momoko.
"We still don't know, but... she probably will lost her memories."
"What?" the others frightened to hear what the doctor said.
"Well, but it's just a possibility. We'll know about her truly condition after she wake up."
"Okay, doctor, can we see her now?" asked the young man.
"Sure, you all can see her."
Before the doctor walked to the another room to examine the another medical patient, she said to them, "Well, don't forget to tell us if she have already wake up, okay?"
"Okay."
They walked into the emergency room and saw her on a bed. Doremi was still unconscious. The wound on her forehead was bandaged, and still left some blood drop. They saw the red spot on the bandage.
When Pop saw Doremi on the bed, she remembered about what happened almost two years ago, when Doremi, Hazuki, Aiko, and Onpu almost slept about a thousand years after they cast their magic to get the love supreme flower for Hana-chan from the cursed forest. What did she feel now was just like what she felt in that time: worried that she would lost her older sister forever.
"Onee-chan, don't leave me. I know, okasan and otousan are still here with me, but I still need you beside me. I can't live without you. You're everything for me." Pop's tears started to drop again, "I don't want to see you you forget about me and the others, or the worst, you passed away."
"Poppu..." Hana-chan hold Pop's shoulder, "Hana-chan don't want if Doremi forgot about us either, and Hana-chan's sure that Doremi will be alright. She wouldn't pass away."
"We hope so, Hana-chan, Poppu-chan." Hazuki said. The others nodded.
The young man called their school and told Seki-sensei about the accident, and when she told all of her students in the sixth grade, in class 1, all of them frightened to hear that, especially Kotake.
'So, Dojimi... she got an accident this morning?' he thought, 'I won't ever forgive someone who have already hit her and made her didn't come here today.'
Kotake saw an empty seat behind him, where usually Doremi sat down.
'Why it should happen with her?'
In class 2, after Seki-sensei told her about the accident, Nishizawa-sensei told all of her students about it.
"Poor, Doremi-chan." Shiori said, "So, Hazuki-chan, Ai-chan, and Onpu-chan couldn't come here because... they accompanied Doremi-chan in the hospital?"
"Yes. They're in the hospital now." Nishizawa-sensei said.
The same condition happened in Pop's class, in the second grade, in class 1. Like Kotake, who saw Doremi's seat and caused him didn't pay attention for the lesson which Seki-sensei explained, Kimitaka saw Pop's empty seat during the lesson.
'Poppu must be so sad now.' Kimitaka thought, 'I must come to the hospital and give her a spirit, at least... after school. I know she need it now.'
Back to the hospital. It was an hour after the six witch apprentices and the young man walked into the emergency room, and now, they were still there, waiting for Doremi who was still closing her eyes.
Suddenly, her eyes opened slowly. She woke up.
She saw the others and asked softly, "Where am I?"
Pop embraced her and said, "Onee-chan, I'm happy that you're still alive. We're in the hospital now. You got an accident this morning."
Then, Doremi said something which made Pop and the others frightened. The doctor's prediction was right.
Because she said, "Who are you?"
